Thought it would be entertaining to see how each person marks their ball. I am currently playing the Nike Platinum One ball. I mark it with 2 black dots above the swoosh which makes it look like the ball is smiling lol. How about you?

I play strictly used balls so there is a mixture of brands and logos. So I mark a rather large X with a sharpie; one diagonal red and the other blue. Quite unique and fairly easy to see in the fairway. I would post a photo, but cannot do attachments yet.

Aim line drawn through the name of the ball (i.e. through the Z-Star X) and a 4 leaf clover at the end. Color doesnt really matter, but something dark enough to where if i take a bit off with the wedge, i can still line it up (blue or black usually).

I draw a small smiley face under the logo(Nike Swoosh). 2 dots for eyes on 2 different dimples and a smiley using an orange Sharpie. Sometimes I put a little tongue sticking out to lighten the mood, usually when I'm playing bad.

It depends how long the line is to tee off, some times I draw faces that look scarred, angry or just my intials over the name.

I'm so big of a Texas Longhorns fan that I actually have golf balls with the Longhorns logo and TEXAS above it... So far I haven't ran into any problems, as many aren't fans of Texas up here in Missouri... haha

So I'm guessing you don't play alot of courses in Oklahoma, or if you do you don't hit the ball out of your line of sight.

    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.

    • Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,  
    • 2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green. 
    • I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.
